J FREEHAND, PA., MARCH 4. ison.
Koine of 1 hese people who know so
much about running a newspaper should
try their hand at the business. Every
town has several persons who could, in
'their opinion, do this better than the
•uen enjrajred in publishing:, but they
never get farther than to set up a con
tinual croak and find fault. The proper
and only way for them to gratify their
desire to read a perfect newspaper is to
edit one owned hy themselves. They
I cannot be suited by any other editor.
, and they would confer a favor upon the
i community by keeping quiet or starting
newspapers of their own.
Offices upon offices are being created
by the Pennsylvania legislature and for
no other apparent purpose than to carry
: out the promises made by legislators to
i their friends to got them "something"
under this administration. Governor
Hastings, notwithstanding the pressure
brought to bear upon him, does not ap- j
pear to be in sympathy with this un
called for additional expense to which
the state will be put, as was evidenced J
by his vetoes of the bills creating un
necessary judgeships in some counties. I
It lie will act as manly as Pattison did j
i in killing viscious legislation, the people !
will have no occasion to regret electing
i him.
Those reformers who were anticipat-'
ing an investigation of Philadelphia's
municipal p.ff.-.irs by a legislative coin- '
j mitten can brace themselves for a dis
appointment. It is seldom Republicans
can be induced to make public the
i crimes and misdeeds of their fellow
party men. and an honest investigation
•f the Quaker City's inside, history
would cause a sensation compared with
which the New York Lexowing would j
be a* tame affair. There are too many
•goody-good" men implicated in Phila- '
dclphia s dark secrets, and some shining '
reputations would be tarnished more or
• after the prol \ it will have to bo
a legislature of a different nature from I
the one now in sessicn that would have
I lie courage To turn the light on that)
nest of corrupt ion.
The now county movement appears to i
be the cause of a lot of unnecessary '
basin on the part or the count}' commis
sioners. They have accepted the plans I
of Architect Myers, of Detroit, for a I
new courthouse to cost in the neighbor- !
hood of -TOO,OOO, and the architect'S
commission, 5 per cent, will amount to '
I 820,000 more. This is a sum of money j
i for which the people should expect to
j receive something that will lust for;
many years, but the question is. "Is
such a costly building necessary?" The
TRIBUNE believes that the present court
house is out of date, inconvenient and
not in any way ornamental, and was
among the first to advocate a now one,
but wo fail to sco tho necessity of ex
, pending the amount of money contem
plated by the commissioners.
One of the bills now before the Penn
i svlvania legislature, if it becomes a law.
| would compel every borough and city to
I purchase the existing water works in
Their towns before they could erect
; plants of their own. That a bill of this
character should be introduced need oe
-1 casion no surprise, but that it should be
considered at length by our lawmakers
jis nothing to their credit. The very
! principle involved ought to condemn
legislation of that kind, and the hill
Tiould be killed v ithout delay. To pre
vent towns from engaging in a business
: which by right belongs to them alone.
! and which previous laws authorize them
to enter, to prevent them from doing
this unless they buy up the plants of all
private competitors is simply ridiculous.
V little thinking upon the subject will
show the danger of allowing a corpora,
tion measure like that one to pass.
It will not be positively known until
the fifty-third congress dies by limita
tion. tonight, whether failure of one or
more appropriation hills will force the
calling of an early extra session. There
is little doubt that the appropriation
bills can bo put through hy hard work,
but there arc several pending amend
ments—among them that of repealing
all laws for the Issue of bonds—either of
which may delay the appropriation bills.
The Republicans, who have been flip
pantly criticising congress for the past
fow months, are not as well pleased at
the prospects of an oxtra session as they
might be. They don't relish tho idea of
having control of tho legislative depart
ment of the government Just now, for
tho results brought on bv the viscious
legislation of the fifty-first congress
have placed the country in a bad condi
tion. it is only right, however, that
they le given the task of remedying
their own blunders.
NOTES OF THE RAIL.
TI/K name of the Haltlraore A Lehigh
has been changed to the York Si South
ern.
TIIK Wagner company has roduced
the price of berths on its cars between
Indianapolis and St. Louis to £1.50.
A iuo scheme is on foot to dispossess
the Missouri, Kansas A Texas of nearly
1,000,000 acres of land held as right-of
way through the Choctaw nation.
TIIK Southern railway has just given
an order for 20 locomotives, and in pur
suance to its stated policy to encour
age local industries part of the order
goes to a Richmond concern.
I r is stated on the highest authority
that a movement has been started
among the southern lines for the arm
ing of passenger train crews with fire
arms to rfcpel attacks of train robbers.
IT Is said that the pay of locomotive
engineers is sometimes so much above
that of minor administrative officers
technically their superiors that the
amount is not permitted to appear
npon the pay roll.
FF.W passenger trains have the splen
did record of the Empire State ex
press in the matter of always being on
time. An examination has shown that
It was not late a single day from Juno
3 to October 13 inclusive, a period of 4
months and 12 days.
RAILROAD NOVELTIES.
J. E. \V ATKINS has been appointed to
tlie unique railroad position of historian
of the Pennsylvania lines.
TIIE map of its system which the
Pennsylvania railroad will put up in its
Philadelphia station will be one hun
dred and uft?en feet long by fifteen
wide. It is claimed that it will be the
large it map ii; the world.
AN ice locomotive was sotue years
ogo constructed for use in Russia, ft
is employed to haul freight between
St. Petersburg and Cronstadt. The
front part, rests on a sledge, and the
driving wheels are studded with
spikes.
CYLINDRICAL shape bales of cotton
arc being shipped from Waco, Tex., by
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rond.
The bales are pressed compactly, and
each weighs four hundred and ninety
pounds. By this new method a ear
con haul one hundred and ten bales.
AT London, Eng., company ha
been registered with a capital of fifty
thousand pounds in ten pound shares,
to acquire, develop and dispose of any
inventions designed to indicate mechan
ically to passengers in railway trains
the name of the station which the train
is approaching.
FASHION FADS.
(•IT-AWAY jackets of velvet are much
liked by young girls.
SLEEVELESS jackets of various mate
rials with passementerie edgings are
popular.
A PRESS of cloth with a narrow inolro
panel down the front Is among the new
importations.
MI FFS are somewhat larger than
heretofore. Many muffs will be used
during the coming winter without
other furH.
CAITH of molro arc trimiucd with fur
collars and lined with bright silk. One
of the handsomest of those garments
was recently made to order and lined
with very stifF brocade.
EUMINF. from becoming popular, ha®,
become n fad. and every woman who
ha* money to buy it wants ermine in
Home form or another. The only diffi
culty is its scarcity and extravagantly
high price. Really fine ermine ia al
most impossible to obtain,and the most
fabulous prices are paid for it.—K. Y.
Ledger.
BAYONET POINTS.
J ONLY four of the survivors of Xa

AMM IN 11; M is now used instead ot
steel for the nails and heel plates ot
Xb<-German soldiers' boots. The re
sults expected arc quicker and better
marching, with less fatigue tothe men.
FIFTEEN years after they were lost in
the disaster at Isandhlwana, in Zulu
land, the colors of the Twenty-fourth
regiment, the .South Wales Borderers,
have been recovered. They came some
way into tire hands of a French noble
man, who has just transferred them to
the British military attache at Paris.

him without thinking also of his

in the world is so well known, and nc
other horse's name is so familiar.

head resembled that of an ox or be
cause he had the mark of an ox's head
on his flank or because he had a black
mark on his head shaped like an ox'i
head, the rest of his body bciug white.
This shows that in Plutarch's timu
people cared a great deal to hear about
Bucephalus.
Alexander obtained him in this way:
"N heu he was at home with his father,
Philip, king of Maeedon, a Thessalian
AI.KXANPF.U S IIOP.SU.
brought the horse to the king in hopes
to sell hiin. They tried to show him
off to advantage, but ho. was so wild
and unmanageable that, although he
was a magnificent looking animal, the
king was disgusted with his conduct
and ordered him to be taken away.
Alexander had taken n great fancy to
tho horse, so ho objected to this.
Finally his father offered to buy Bu
cephalus if Alexander could ride him.
So Alexander, who was not afraid of
anything and was used to having his
own way, managed to get onto the rear
ing, kicking horse, and found that he
could manage him. 110 suited Bu
cephalus a,s well as Bucephalus suited
him, and from that time the two wore
inseparable. Bucephalus would allow
no one but Alexander to mount him. ;
lie went with him in all his campaigns,
and what a number of things and places 1
that horse saw in Persia, and India! '
He was obliged to endure the blazing j
sun, and often he had to go without :
water, and he had to climb steep moun- !
tains and drag through long, weary !
marches, and he was wounded in bat- I
tie, and perhaps lie wished himself back ;
sometimes in peaceful Thessaly, where
he was from.
Still, he was taken good euro for
you may he sure that Alexander'* fa
vorite horse was not neglected, fie hud
plenty of //rooms to rub him down at
night and to wait upon him, and Alex
ander no doubt, often fed him with his
cwn hands. There are different ac
counts of his death. Plutarch soys that
in a great battle with Borus, king of n
part of northern India, he received the
wounds of which he died. Others any
that-he died not long after of fatigue,
worn out by the cruel"" marches and
hard work, and that at Ins death he
was thirty years ohl. That is very old
for n horse. At any rale, lie died in
that region, for Alexander built „ city
near the river Ilydespcs. which lie
called Buccphala in honor of Ids faith
ful horfee.
The city was in ruins long ago. but

ways ill IK; as long as history lasts.—

THE COMPASS PLANT.
j Petals of Its Metallic Lev vol .llrvitjt
Point to Mie North.
[ Among the many remarkable things
j In nature there are few more wonder
ful titan lite compass plant of our west
ern plains. This singular plant has
metallic leaves, and its petals point con
stantly to the north. It, can be readily
| understood, therefore, that these plants
have proved, on numerous occasions,
to be of inestimable benefit to travelers
. who have strayed from their campa or
! companions and found themselves lost.
A traveler says that, in ISGO. while he
was on his way to the Rocky moun
tains by a wagon train, he and some
companions, who had left the camp on
a hunt for antelope, lost their way,
upon the sudden approach of tin- dark,
stormy night. They knew that their
train was encamped about ten miles to
the northwest of the place where they
I were.
| The night was as dark as pitch, and
they were beginning to be alarmed,
when one of the party happened to
, think of the compass plant and its won
| derful peculiarity. They at once dls
j mounted and groped about, until at
j last one of them found the familiar
leaves of the plant.
I Then they were able to turn their
horses' heads in the right direction to-
I ward the camp, which they roachcd In
about two hours, but not until they
j 'tad dismounted several times to feel
among the leaves of their friendly
I guide to make sure of their course.-

Military Movement* of Skunk*.
An Auburn (N. Y.) man riding in tin
j country saw crossing the road n mam
■ ma skunlc with five youngsters trailing
behind her in single file. Ranks were
I closed and tails dragged. The little
company moved toward an unoccupied
| building, and tho old skunk disop
i pcared through n hole in the founda
| Hon wall. Rut Just ns the young ones
| were about to follow he flung o stone,
which banged loudly against tho corner
of the building. The narrator says that
he has witnessed many military evolu
tions by crack companies, but never in
his experience did he see a drill com
pany "'bout face, 'tcntion, present
arms," with the rapidity with which
that platoon of skunks moved. Tlicy
whirled like one, stood in line, their
tails whisking itraight over their
backs. It was a moment full of criHe
al suspense, but the command "Fire"'
wasn't issued. As no enemy presented
Itself they trailed arms once more and
made a digniflcd retreats one after
another, into the Hole in the wall.
